Association of organizational climate variables with teacher and student management: Proposal of management models
Introduction. The environment in which people interact is essential for the achievement of objectives and goals. In organizations of all types, this environment is called climate. The study of the Organizational Climate concept has captivated the interest of several areas and has recently emerged as a relevant topic in research on educational communities. Method. The objective of this study is to determine the levels of association of organizational climate variables (commitment, satisfaction and motivation) of students and teachers with the perception of management. The population, scarcely studied before, is composed of students and teachers of Adult Regular Education Establishments in the BiobĆo Region, Chile. The sample consists of 358 students and 59 teachers. The research methodology is a multiple linear regression that seeks to generate a predictive model of variable grouping. Results. The results follow the trend of positive and significant correlation of organizational climate variables (commitment, motivation and satisfaction) and management, the predictive models suggest a different grouping of variables in both groups studied. Discussion. In general, the positive and significant correlation between the variables studied agrees with what has been found so far; however, the most significant and divergent aspect is that the students seem to be more motivated than the teachers with regard to the organizational climate management processes and the learning-teaching process. Teachers show adequate organizational commitment, but this is less related to their satisfaction and even less to their motivation.
Critical meta-review of the link between technologies, information technology and cognitive development of individuals and organizations
Information technology has accompanied human development since the beginning of socialization, facilitating organization, collaboration and quantification. Information theory resembles the way in which the brain processes, organizes and systematizes data and stimuli received. This association between cognitive processes and informatics is useful to understand how we learn and why we are constantly changing systems to interact with the context and avoid extinction. In addition, technologies in specific are fundamental to current development and learning. This meta-review is framed in a process of critical documentary analysis of the implications of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the cognitive development of individuals and organizations. At the methodological level, a thematic content analysis is carried out, divided into the following categories: 1. ICT in cognitive processes. 2. Organizational and educational psychology. Among the conclusions are the importance of ICT in developmental psychology, in terms of external mediation, responsibility, planned and regulated access. The relevance of technologies for the organizations and individuals that compose them is also analyzed, recognizing them as a key element in both organizational and educational psychology, evidencing even more their protagonism in the current pandemic of covid-19.
